A Generalized Regula Falsi Method for Finding Zeros and Extrema of Real Functions
Figure 3
Graphs of six real functions: (a) has 2 local maxima, 1 local minimum, 2 zeroed minima, and 2 crossing zeros; (b) has an alternate sequence of local maxima and zeroed minima; (c) has a single crossing zero; (d) has a single crossing zero; (e) has also a single crossing zero; (f) has a zeroed minimum that is a cusp.
